Incoming NSE Students

When do I find out if I get in?

Students who will be coming to Western State Colorado University (Western) on a NSE exchange will be notified of their acceptance by their home NSE coordinator after the annual March conference.  If you are applying after the March conference Western still accepts students to come on Plan A and depending on availability on Plan B. 

What do I do once I am accepted through NSE to Western?

Once you are accepted you should be contacted by your home NSE advisor.  You will need to fill out a Placement Acceptance Form (PAF) and send it to the Western NSE office.  Once the office receives your PAF we will process you as an incoming NSE student.  You then will be receiving an e-mail from Western's NSE coordinator.  This e-mail will detail everything you need to be doing in preparation to coming to Western for the Fall, Spring and/or Summer semesters.  You can begin by requesting an official transcript from your home institution and sending it to:

NSE Office
College Center 106
600 N. Adams St.
Gunnison, CO 81231
